Jacoby's Tiki Bar Takeover

Get ready, Canberra! For one night only, Highball is handing over the bar to the legends from Sydney’s award-winning Jacoby’s Tiki Bar.

On Thursday July 3, Jacoby’s co-founders Miles and Tama will bring their signature tropical chaos to Highball, serving up a short, punchy menu of bold rum cocktails—think Piña Coladas, Blazing Bat Mai Tais, and a dangerously delicious Caribbean Coma Punch. With a live DJ setting the mood from 8pm–11pm and Bacardi backing the good times, this is your chance to experience one of Sydney’s most beloved bars without leaving the capital.

Hailed as one of Australia's best tiki bars, Jacoby's is a Newtown institution inspired by the eccentric world of Twin Peaks and classic tiki culture. Their bar has been featured in countless "best bar" lists and is known for its playful energy, tropical vibes, and expertly crafted drinks. Whether you're a seasoned rum-lover or just tiki-curious, this is your invitation to escape to paradise for the night. Don't miss the Highball x Jacoby’s bar swap—it's a little slice of Newtown right here in Canberra.

Bookings recommended, walk in guests most welcome.
